It’s funny it takes the last month of the yearTo remind us of everything we hold so dear

So inhale, exhale and soak it all inThe holidays are now set to begin

And ready or not, they’ll be here, then goneSo to make memories last all the year long

Focus not what you put under your treeNot what you serve, not the money

Focus on being fully engagedBeing in the story and not missing a page

Focus on giving the gift of yourselfBeing present instead of being somewhere else

If you do nothing else this season except to believe that you have the power to make a difference and succeed

I wish you a peaceful, loving, joy-filled holiday season.
